Brings back memories of how a farming community used to be. I still remember neighbors, my Dad and I picking a neighbor's corn--------also in the early 60's. Dad helped with the corn picking with a 2ME picker on an M Farmall, and I helped with the plowing with a 560 Farmall and BIG 4-16 mounted plow!!!

I saw that. I'm still trying to find a three bottom plow. I'd like to get into plowing/plow days but it's hard to find people that want land plowed. I'm just lookin to go and help people out while havin a good time.

In central Iowa, that still happens for harvest, but practically nobody plows. A couple dozen combines and twice that in semis can do lots of acres in a day.

There is an operation in the Dakotas that travels a wide area to do that for planting as a charitable activity, brings their own equipment to the ill (or recently deceased) farmer's fields.

Farmers helping farmers is NOT dead, plowing mostly is.

The Farm Rescue in the Dakotas is a corporate run ordeal. No neighbors involved. Started by a airline pilot. Funded heavily by Ron Offut.
